Comprehensive film and television: Every time I dress up as a supporting role

Sometimes in the middle of the night, Nian Shilan would occasionally dream about her past.

Her previous hope of having the exclusive favor of the emperor seemed like a dream. Thinking of the emperor's old and ugly face, she couldn't help but recall what she liked about the emperor.

Perhaps it was her past love that blinded Nian Shilan's eyes, making her feel that the emperor was the best man in the world and worthy of her love in every way.

Looking back now, without the halo of being the emperor, the emperor is actually no different from any other man in the world, just as lustful and greedy for money.

The emperor always loves himself, and secondly young and beautiful women. He says that he mourns Chun Yuan and loves women who are similar to Chun Yuan. In fact, he only loves his own deep affection and beautiful women who are similar to Chun Yuan, and enjoys their young bodies.

Nian Shilan couldn't help but feel that she, who only cared about love in the past, was like a person under a spell. Fortunately, after she had a daughter, her brain, which had been clouded by greed, finally woke up.

One of the people Nian Shilan hated the most, the queen and the queen mother were both dead. Although she was only the noble concubine Hua, there was no queen in the palace. Her position of noble concubine Hua was the highest in the entire harem, and no one dared to bark in front of her. She lived a quiet life, being pampered and coaxed by the beautiful sisters in the harem, and was surprisingly very happy.

Nian Shilan did not have Yixiu's habit of abortion. It was none of her business who gave birth and who did not. When a concubine was pregnant, she would casually point out an imperial physician to help with the whole process of pregnancy and ensure that her sisters gave birth to their babies safely.

As the number of children increased, the shortage of princes no longer existed, and at least eight concubines in the harem gave birth to princes.

With peace in the harem and many princes, Yinzhen believed that he would definitely have an heir. While he was feeling proud, he remembered that there was still a serious threat like Nian Gengyao that had not been resolved. He thought of uniting the ministers he trusted to find a crime for Nian Gengyao and arbitrarily demote him from his military power.

However, before this was implemented, news of war broke out at the border and the Dzungars invaded.

At the critical moment, Yinzhen sent Nian Gengyao to lead the troops to fight, and successfully defeated the Dzungar Khanate, but the losses were not small. The Qing Dynasty had to recuperate for the next three years. Fortunately, the Dzungar Khanate also suffered heavy losses. The Dzungar Khanate and the Qing Dynasty signed a non-interference agreement with a time limit of five years.

In the original plot, because Nian Gengyao was feared by Yinzhen and was arrogant, he was executed early by Yinzhen. There was no one in the court, so he was captured by the Dzungar.

In addition, Yinzhen did not want to have a conflict, so he agreed to the Dzungar Khanate's request for marriage and withdrawal of troops, and married off Princess Chaogui, the legitimate princess left by the previous emperor, within a month.

Poor Chaogui, not long after she got married, the old Khan died of illness.

There was an unwritten rule in the Junggars that the son would inherit the throne after the father's death. That is to say, Chao Gui had just married the old Khan when the old Khan died and was forced to be adopted by the old Khan's son, the new Khan.

When she married the old Khan, she was a newlywed wife, and when she was adopted by the new Khan, she became a concubine. The difference in status was huge. Princess Chaogui could not bear the humiliation, but she had to endure it. Her life was very difficult, and she died of illness in Junggar before she was thirty.

Princess Chaogui's death was a disgrace to the royal family, but no one cared. Her value had been realized when she got married. It was sad and lamentable.

Fortunately, this time Qingran secretly reminded her uncle and reminded her mother to ask her uncle to be more careful about his words and deeds. Only then was Nian Gengyao's life saved and the entire Nian family was saved.

If Nian Gengyao had not died, the Qing Dynasty would still have generals who could lead troops to victory and would not have been controlled by the Dzungar Khanate, which unexpectedly delayed the possibility of Princess Chaogui being married off.

Nian Gengyao won another battle and returned home feeling extremely proud. Concubine Hua was granted special permission to dine with Nian Gengyao once again.

On the way to send Concubine Hua back, Nian Gengyao mentioned Junggar. He said that during this war, he almost broke into the Junggar base camp and met the old Khan.

"That Khan, who looked like he was dying of illness, actually had the nerve to propose a marriage alliance. I almost chopped off his head."

Nian Gengyao said that if it were not for his bravery in repelling the Dzungar Khanate, the old Khan would have dared to propose a marriage alliance.

As he spoke, he looked at Princess Zhaoyue who was growing taller day by day, and remembered that she was about twelve years old this year.

The complacency on Nian Gengyao's face fell. The emperor was old, and so was he.

Even if he refuses to admit his age, he is nearly fifty years old this year. How many more victories can he still win?

If he did not withdraw the troops in the future, and a powerful enemy invaded again, the princess would not be able to escape the fate of marrying off a foreign prince. If Princess Zhaoyue also wanted to marry off a foreign prince, Nian Gengyao felt distressed at the thought of this possibility.

Zhaoyue is his sister's most beloved daughter and his favorite niece. If she were to marry far away, it would be like cutting off Nian Gengyao's flesh.

"Isn't it time for Zhaoyue to find a prince consort?" Nian Gengyao suddenly said.

Qing Ran loves to communicate with her uncle and will tell him the latest news in the palace, such as the eldest princess marrying a prince consort, and Princess Wen Yi is also choosing a prince consort, and she will marry him off as soon as she finds one with a suitable family background and a suitable background.

Concubine Cao was personally in charge of the matter and was extremely busy. She was well aware of the emperor's character and was afraid that she would not be able to act in time and that Wen Yi would be sent away to marry one day.

This was not the result she wanted to see.

If the princess wants to avoid the path of marriage, it seems that her only option is to choose a prince consort early on.

Nian Shilan didn't know what Nian Gengyao was thinking, but since her brother had mentioned before that the old Khan had proposed a marriage alliance, and when she thought about her brother's proposal to find a son-in-law for Zhaoyue, she knew what her brother was thinking.

Nian Shilan felt a lump in her throat and didn't know what to say. After a while, she said:

"Zhaoyue is still young, there's no rush. I want to keep her for a few years."

Nian Gengyao knew he was being too hasty, but the situation forced him to do so. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Noble Concubine Hua, you have to make choices. Even if you marry someone else, they can still come back to serve you. For example, the eldest princess spends every day with her mother."

Nian Shilan: "I understand, it's just that it's too early to get married, and I can't bear it after all."

Qingran didn't say anything, but quietly followed her mother and uncle. When they returned to the palace, Qingran dismissed all the palace servants and stood behind her mother, massaging her shoulders.

"Mother, I don't want to get married."

Nian Shilan smiled and turned around, tapping her daughter's face. "Of course, mother doesn't want you to get married, but it's inevitable for a girl to marry."

Nian Shilan suddenly felt a little sad: "Your uncle is right, the princess should marry early, that is the long-term solution."

Qingran pursed her lips, looking at Nian Shilan's face which hadn't changed much over the years, and seeing the deep reluctance and sadness in her eyes, her heart suddenly ached, and she finally said out loud the idea she had hesitated for several years:

"Mother, what if I tell you that I don't want to get married, but want to be the emperor?"

"Why are princesses born to be married off, but princes only need to fight for the throne? If they fail, they can just be an idle prince? Take the Seventeenth Prince for example. I am also the Emperor's child. If the prince can do it, so can I!"

Qingran asked word by word. It was not so much that she was asking Nian Shilan for an answer, but rather that she was trying to break the shackles that had bound Nian Shilan for more than thirty years.
